The historic ceremony will be attended by two thousand guests. New banners depicting the monarch were placed on lamp posts in Russell Square in Bloomsbury on Thursday.
The navy and white panels include a profile picture of King Charles, who appears to be wearing St Edward’s crown, according to the Daily Mail. The crown, which is currently being resized ahead of the event, was made for King Charles II in 1661 and was previously on display in the Tower of London.
The official coronation emblem is displayed at the top of the banner above the monarch’s profile. Created by Sir Jony Ive – Apple’s former chief designer – it includes flora from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: rose, thistle, narcissus and clover.
The king used wildlife and flowers associated with a new beginning on the border of the invitation. The theme alludes to Charles’ love for nature, sustainability and climate conservation. They form the shape of St. Edward’s crown surrounded by images of red flowers.
The emblem, unveiled in February by Buckingham Palace, was designed using the red, white and blue colors of the British flag. Earlier this week, Buckingham Palace issued an official coronation invitation and confirmed Queen Camilla’s new title.
